Default Any foxs with a/c and p/s ?
Curious if anyone has their swap with a/c and p/s still? If so could you post a picture trying to see if there would be room for turbo.

Thanks

Hey, don't have a turbo but I have a 1993 Mustang with the ls1 swap and currently have Power Steering and a fully functional A/C system. Will snap some pictures for you tomorrow pending the weather if that will help.

Someone on here made the truck ac compressor fit by adding some square tubing to the sway bar mount. Car accessories should fit no problem.

How did you connect the ps pump to the rack; what fittings or did you have your lines made to fit?

Not sure on that one, just bought the car earlier in the month from the previous owner down in Florida who bought the car from a friend who did the swap. His username on the forum is "Bowtiedford" if you want to shoot him a PM. Has been very helpful with any questions I've had so far.
